It looks like "the base ball card game" to me...
Stop using "IMO" in sentences that aren't opinion. If you don't think a deck will ever be tier 1, that's great - but it's not an opinion. It's a prediction of the future. I identify as neither male nor female. You may refer to me with either gender pronoun or the singular they, whichever suits you best. ^_^ Re: Dismember  Everybody knows that having your awesome creatures killed before they can do anything is frustrating, but the Red mage in me doesn't seem to understand why it's so bad when his creatures spontaneously combust into Flame Javelin  s and make his opponent discard something at the same time.

What no werewolf deck? WTH wizards? You go to all this trouble of pissing everyone off with double faced cards and don't even have the balls to make an intro deck with them? Color me dissapointed.

Cool down it's the first set.
They'll probably have a werewolf deck in the second or third, when it's more fleshed out.
And there's no reason to assume that just because there's no 'werewolf deck' none of them contain DFC's.

I'm aware it's the first set. And, it being the first set, you would think you would want to promote this "new" tribe. I'm sure there will be DFC's in the intro decks somewhere, but werewolves have the most, so it makes sense to have a deck that promotes both. I'm just dissapointed is all, it seems cowardly, but who knows, maybe the human deck will be cool.

Since wizards seems to have lost their sense-of-AWESOME, we can't get a werewolf deck in a easy, ready-made package. Instead I'll have to: A) Buy a box or 2, since I'll only get 1 double sided card per pack. (I'm really hoping double sided rares aren't too rare) B) Beg and peddle with my friends, or C) March into a game shop and pay whatever astronomical price they put on these things thanks to point A. Seriously, hands up everyone who is psyched about a Spirit theme deck.... Anyway, the red-hot rage has subsided and I can see hope in the GREEN so-called "human" deck. Looking at the card image category, there aren't a lot of humans in this set. Oh wait, yes there are, you know what they're called? WEREWOLVES WEREWOLVES WEREWOLVESThis might be a fool's hope though... Predictions in the human deck: (*WARNING* SOME CARDS ARE SPOILED FROM MTG SALVATION) Avancys pilgrim (2 or more of), elder of laurels and sharpened pitchfork I'm sure of. Butcherer's cleaver would be awesome and we might get blazing torch OR wooden stake. Naturalize is a given, and a pump spell from M12 is probable. Timely reinforcements would be nice. If we DO get werewolves moonmist will be included since it plays to "ward off" flavour. Gatstaf shepherd is included. A common like villagers of estwald might also appear. The second rare could be Kessig Cagebreakers, since it plays into the "lots of creatures" theme and supports elder of laurels. The flavour might not quite fit, though... If we DON'T get werewolves Thraben sentry is highly probable. If the other rare is white, Mentor of the meek is the likeliest card, even though Champion of the parish would be an awesome thing to get... Bonds of faith is a certain 2 of. Make a wish might appear, and travel preparations would fit though it breaks the "1 mechanic per deck" rule. So yeah, maybe I'm exited after all. Post your own suggestions

I'll bet more casual players will see the Sturmgeist card showing and assume the cards in that deck are in German. People base purchasing decisions on dumber reasons than that all the time, especially in certain parts of the US.

@ DaddyCerodon: I wouldnt be too surprised to see a Werewolf Event deck in a few weeks. ~ Tim
 Reached DCI Rating 1800 on 28/10/11. :D Sig

Not bad. But what happens flavor wise when one kamahl kills the other one?
Zis iz a sign uf deep psychological troma, buried in zer subconscious mind. By keelink himzelf, Kamahl iz physically expressink hiz feelinks uf self-disgust ova hiz desire for hiz muzzer. [/GermanPsychologistVoice]
That makes no sense to me.
If they spelled the ability out on the card in full then it would not be allowed in a mono-black Commander deck, but because they used a keyword to save space it is allowed?
~ Tim
Yup, just like you can have Birds of paradise  in a mono green deck but not Noble Hierarch  . YAY COLOR IDENTITY 
Is algebra really that difficult?
Survey says yes.
You want to make a milky drink. You squeeze a cow.
I love this description. Like the cows are sponges filled with milk. I can see it all Nick Parks claymation-style with the cow's eyes bugging out momentarily as a giant farmer squeezes it like a squeaky dog toy, and milk shoots out of it.

Mark Rosewater said that they did their best to make the DFCs show up in equal rarities to non-DFCs of the same rarity. This means that you have just as much chance of cracking a Garruk Relentless as you do of cracking any other Mythic. Except that Garruk Relentless comes in addition to your regular rare/mythic rare. And I believe the math didn't come out perfectly, so I'd imagine they erred on the side of generosity and Garruk is actually slightly MORE common than other mythics.
The same logic holds for the other rarities, but we all know Garruk, being the mythic, will be where the money's at.
